It's not really gonna be a big deal, but you gotta consider there's an Apple keynote being broadcasted live right now, that usually means RDF is pulsing at 100%, so my advise is hide and don't question anything!
FWIW, whatever he said sounded attractive to me, but I think they have painted themselves into a corner having saturated their own high-end market with gadgets, and are now getting into the sub $1k notebook \w keyboard market. As attractive as their offerings are, I have no doubt that it's no match to the stampede of Androids that's gonna run over them; equally speced at half the price.
